Information about products that generate electrical noise If applicable, this equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor- dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer- ence to radio communications. However, this is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer- ence to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. •Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. •Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit than the one to which the receiver is connected. •Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni- cian for help.

English b December 20, 2001 AM189858_03_V.pdf Important Safety Instructions Antenna grounding Example of antenna grounding as per National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Note to CATV system installer This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC (of USA) that provides guidelines for proper grounding. In particu- lar, it specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical. 18. Use proper power sources – Plug the product into a proper power source, as described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product. 19. Avoid power lines – Use extreme care when installing an outside antenna system to keep from touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal. Do not install external antennas near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, nor where an antenna can fall into such circuits or power lines. 20. Ground all outdoor antennas – If an external antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This will provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground electrode. Refer to the antenna grounding illustration on this page.

6 December 20, 2001 AM191413_02_V.pdf Setting Up Select the locations for your Lifestyle® 5 music system When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflected and direct sound provides a good stereo image virtually everywhere in the room. You may experiment with the placement and orientation of the cubes and the Acoustimass ® module to produce the sound most pleasing to you. To adjust your system for the characteristics of your listening room, see “Fine-tuning your system” on page 23. Speaker locations Follow these guidelines to select locations for your Lifestyle® 5 music system. The speaker cables allow up to 20 feet (6.1 m) distance from the Acoustimass® module. CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your speakers. Vibration can cause the speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. For additional stability, you can add rubber feet to your speakers. You may obtain rubber feet (part no. 178321), free of charge, from Bose ®. Contact Bose Customer Service (see listings on the inside back cover). 1. For the most lifelike sound, place the cube arrays 6-12 feet (1.8-3.6 m) apart. They can be as close as 3 feet (1 m) or as far apart as 15 feet (4.6 m). 2. Direct one cube of each array forward. Direct the other cube toward the wall or in a different direction to create reflected sound. (See the illustration of reflected sound pat- terns in Figure 2.) Note: The cube speakers are magnetically shielded so you can place them close to a TV without affecting picture quality. Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books. Figure 2 Recommended speaker locations Acoustimass module Left speakerRight speaker

Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least 18 inches (45 cm) from a TV. 1. Place the module along the same the wall as the speakers, if possible (Figure 2). 2. Select a convenient location – under a table, behind a sofa. Do not allow furniture or drapes to block the ventilation openings of the module. 3. Place the module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and an AC power (mains) outlet. 4. Select a position for the Acoustimass module (Figure 3). For proper ventilation, place it on the long edge, with the connectors facing the floor. An alternate position is on its largest side, with the bass and treble controls facing up. Do not place the module on either end, as shown by the last two views in Figure 3. Figure 3 Acoustimass module positions 5. Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feet near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability and protection from scratches. 6. Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the port or creating too much bass. 7. For best bass performance, do not place the port at equal distances from any two walls or from a wall and the ceiling. CAUTION: Do not cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustimass module. The slots on the end provide ventilation for the built-in electronic circuitry, and should not be blocked. Music center Select a location for the music center. 1. Allow enough room to open the CD player cover. 2. Place the music center close enough to any additional sound sources (TV, VCR, etc.) to allow for cable length. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all of your components, see your dealer or call Bose ®. 3. Place the music center within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass module (the length of the audio input cable). Note: Since some TVs can interfere with the proper operation of a CD player or tuner, you may want to avoid placing the music center directly on top of your TV.
8 December 20, 2001 AM191413_02_V.pdf Setting Up Connect the speakers and Lifestyle® music center Once you have selected locations for your music system, connect the speakers. CAUTION: Make sure all components are unplugged from the power outlet before you begin hooking up the system. Connecting the cube speaker arrays to the Acoustimass® module Each speaker cable contains two wires. The wire marked with a red collar is positive (+) and the plain one is negative (–). These wires match the positive (red) and negative (black) termi- nals on the back of each speaker. To lengthen the cable, use standard RCA extension cables or splice in 18-gauge or thicker cord (connecting + to + and – to –). To purchase cables, see your dealer, electronics store, or call Bose ® customer service. 1. Match the correct cable to the corresponding speaker location. •Speaker cables have blue connectors at one end, with L and R molded into the connectors. •The red collars on the + wire are labeled LEFT and RIGHT. 2. Connect the wire end of one speaker cable to the terminals on the rear of the matching cube speaker array. a. Push each terminal tab down, then insert the end of the appropriate wire into the exposed hole. Release the tab to secure the wire. Connect each wire to its correspond- ing terminal positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (– to –). b. Repeat this step for each of the cube speaker arrays. (See Figure 4.) Figure 4 Speaker cable connections to the cube speaker array CAUTION: Make sure no strands of wire from any terminal touch any other terminal. Bridged wires create short circuits that affect proper operation of your system. 3. Connect each cable to the corresponding left or right blue jack on the Acoustimass module.
